COLOGNE, Germany, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The European Union should not dismiss gas fracking technology that has boosted the United States, nor unilaterally overexpose itself to climate protection efforts, European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said on Tuesday.

[German climate researcher Hans von Storch] That's exactly the point that I don't like: that in the end we lose our credibility. For outsiders it always looks a bit like us climate scientists jump to any explanation that doesn't go against our basic assumption - that CO2 is behind global warming. I do believe that this basic assumption is right, but it could also be that there are other factors we've underestimated so far.
